I know this is not specifically related to Discourse, but if anyone from Digital Ocean reads this thread, would you consider adding a warning in the [Discourse One-Click Application](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/one-clicks/discourse/) explaining how important is to set the “notification email” correctly? It remained set to `noreply@discourse.do.co` and that was a pain in the neck as I ended up switching 3 different SMTP providers due to lack of clear warnings in the logs of the first two.
